UNIT 8: Evaluation

Image
  During the creation of these four songs, I learnt a lot about music and songwriting and it was a great experience overall . At the start I made the M aster of P uppets interlude to get my hands on L ogic so I could understand it better . I didn't intend on using that on my EP but I eventually ended up using it as the second track. Once I had completed the guitars for the first song , I started work on my second song “Take it to your grave” This is a song that I take great pride in as it's my first ever original song . The main riff was created on a random drunken Thursday evening and the next day I came into college and I put it into logic . There a lot of figuring out to do such as the tempo, the key of the riff, the bassline etc. But I eventually finished the song by adding a solo using the A minor pentatonic scale and adding an interlude part of the song using a sample from the animated television show “Invincible” where a character named Conquest tells the...

UNIT 8: Research

Image
Throughout the course of this project I have done a lot of research in this project so today I will show and explain all the research I've done in this project. What you see here the tabs for "Enter Sandman" and "Lucretia". During the creation of my First and original song "Take it to your grave" I wanted to figure out a new section for my song as I didnt know what would come next. I didn't exactly use this as after i finished the solo the song goes into an interlude so i did not use this but it is good for the future in songwriting.  i knew what i wanted to do with my song, it involved getting a sample from a show called "Invincible" where a character named "Conquest" tells the main character all about his struggles and his loneliness before attempting to kill him followed by him saying "Take it to your grave" which inspired the name of my track. In order to extract Conquest's voice, I had to download the youtube ...

UNIT 8: Week 8

                                                                              20/5/25 WHAT'S HAPPENED ? I have begun work on She-Wolf and it is coming along very nicely. My work has been good yet the pace in which I have working has not been satisfactory. I've not got much to complete as I have to finish and harmonise the ending solo of the song which will without a doubt be a challenge, but that is what this whole thing is about. For so long now have i struggled to complete this guitar solo, it was doing my head in having to play it again and again and again hoping to get the perfect result and now with great satisfaction, I can say that i have finally completed She-Wolf. 

Unit 8: Week 7

13/5/25 WHATS HAPPENED? The end is drawing near for this project, and i've got one thing left to do. Complete She-Wolf. I have completed "Am I Evil?" and did so pretty easily. My work over these past few weeks have all been cut out for me yet i struggle to complete them due to my mental state, life at home, and amongst other things a lack of concentration. It's not logics fault that i struggle to complete this work, nor is it the equipment im using or anything like that, it's me. This project is here to be done and I'm not gonna hang about and allow myself to simply fail, putting the last year of my life to utter waste. I have the bass, drums, and vocals of she wolf all in logic, I simply must play the guitar parts over it.  SIDE RANT This year has taken a toll on myself and my morals and what i am. Interacting with the people in this college and my peers on this course has made me question society a lot. Do I not get along with this college in particular? Or ...

UNIT 8: Week 6

Image
 30/4/25 After a two week long sabbatical from creating my EP, which was a grueling two weeks. I had my whole plan laid out for me. I completed Master of Puppets interlude which was a lot of fun to do.  The solo was great fun and it did not create too much of a hard challenge. This now means that this project is 50% complete. N00BSAIB0B · Master of Puppets Interlude   2/4 songs have been bounced onto soundcloud and my work on the penultimate song has begun, that song being "Am I Evil?". This time, I have put the isolated track in first so i can simply play over the drum beat I am looking forward to seeing this project off just to see the result.
